Can Taking Antibiotics Reduce The Affect Of Depo Shot?
I have a question. I'm on the birth control shot, Depo, February 25th will be my third shot. I just recently been put on an antibiotic, "Doxycycline" for a UTI. 500mg, twice a day. Question is, is it possible that antibiotics lesson the affect of Depo? I know they do with the pill, just not sure about the shot. I was told yes, did research and was told no, and called the ER since my OB isn't open, & they said its possible. & What are the chances of getting pregnant while on depo and taking antibiotics? So, does anyone have any information about my questions?

Hello!
Thanks for your query.
There are no known drug interactions between doxycycline and depo provera.
If you are on injections for birth control,there is no reason why you can not take Doxycycline.
